Nooma Night – Tomato

Posted by Colin

Feb27

This month in our Nooma Night we shall be thinking about surrendering the ideals of our image-conscious culture and embracing our true identity in Christ. We will be meeting at Vicars Cafe as usual on Wednesday 2nd march @7.30pm.

There will be a shared meal followed the DVD and discussion. Everyone Welcome.

This what Rob Bell says about his DVD entitled ‘Tomato’.

We all get consumed with ourselves; sometimes we’re not even aware of it. We learn from a young age that life is about winning and impressing. We pick up that our worth and value come from how good, how smart, and how skilled we are. So, we twist things in our favour, making us look like we have it all together. Every day we have the choice to prop up these false ideas about ourselves or to let go of them. Jesus invites these parts of us to die, the parts of us that tell us our worth comes from the things we say and do. Maybe it’s only when we let these things die, that we truly begin to live.
